My son and I made this little Easter Egg garland out of coffee filters.

First we cut the coffee filters into egg shapes. Then we colored with water-based markers (Crayola) layering the coffee filters-3 deep- but only coloring the top one.

Next we placed the 3 layered coffee filters on a paper towel and used a squirt bottle to get them wet. We let them dry, and then separated them so we had 3 eggs from coloring one.

We strung them up in front of a window, and added letters as seen in the first photo. During the day, the light shines through, and they look really pretty! My 3 year old loved this so much he wants us to hang some up in his room too ;)
BTW- you can get a nice pack of coffee filters at the dollar store ;)

That is so cute and we LOVE do coffee filter art so we just may have to do that today.
You never cease to amaze me!
Great idea. I might just have to try that idea with my kids.
Lovely idea... I really like how soft and gentle they become.
Awesome idea, thanks for sharing
